'Til It Does

I never told her that I loved her, but I do She never cried here on my shoulder If she was hurting, well, I never knew I never saw her leavin' come Until the goodbye part was through Now the page has turned, and the lessons learned And a blind man sees

It don't happen 'til it does It don't hit you 'til it lays you flat You don't hear the lone train 'Til you're tied up on the track You don't want the way it is 'Til you're wishin' for the way it was That's how a heartache finds a fool It don't happen 'til it does

She always wanted me to want hero, now I will She always needed me to come home, now I know how that feels These days I'm seein' things in ways that only missin' her reveals Yeah, what's wrong is wrong and what's gone is gone And it's gone for good

It don't happen 'til it does It don't hit you 'til it lays you flat You don't hear the lone train 'Til you're tied up on the track You don't want the way it is 'Til you're wishin' for the way it was That's how a heartache finds a fool It don't happen 'til it does

No, you don't see the warning signs All 'til it's tail lights and a cloud of dust That's how a heartache finds a fool It don't happen 'til it does
